It was a trainwreck of silence
bustin' in my door
on a Saturday night.
They always told me I'd find the one
to hold me close at night,
but they never told me how it ends
Blind love from the blind side,
the dark side of the moon
a neverending dead end road
I would give anything
just to have my arms around you
see you smile at me
one last time
on that dead end road.
Good times, we had a few
she even tried to hold my hand
when we saw that band.
Sometimes, well she'd smile
and laugh with me,
but it didn't last long.
I don't know
why you can't be with me
And I don't know
why you say the things you say.
I tried my hardest
to bring you back to me,
but baby this time I'm gone.
Blind love from the blind side,
the dark side of the moon
a neverending dead end road
I would give anything
just to have my arms around you
see you smile at me
one last time
on that dead end road.
